[Amc-list] 195.6OHV "full flow" oil -- to the head

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

It just occurred to me -- I see no reason to replumb the oil filter on 
this motor to filter all of the oil going to the head (valves). Instead 
of teeing it, with half to the filter and half to the head. (Well who 
knows what the proportion actually is; there's no control over it. Clean 
filter: low flow to valves. Plugged filter: all oil to the valves.)

All I can think of, was back in that day oil filters were new-fangled 
things for sissies, and Nash assumed that it would occasionally be fully 
plugged, and bypass is good enough anyways.

But who today doesn't change the oil and filter often on an antique motor?!

Can anyone come up with a reason I shouldn't run ALL the valve oil 
through the filter?! Another R.M. hack -- cost is about 3 feet of 1/8" 
brake line! And I get to sell the brass tee on eBay to recover my cost :-)
